ANALOGY, SYSTEMS, AND INTELLIGENCE
Zhengxin Chen · Cybernetics & Systems · 1991
Although the study of analogy is a common interest for researchers in general systems theory and in artificial intelligence (AI), the research disciplines in these two areas are quite different. In this paper we provide a brief comparison study for these two fields: analogy as the study of systems and analogy as the study of intelligence. We show that these two fields of study are complementary. We also propose the use of logic specification for systems description. A study of analogy that combines perspectives of general systems theory and AI thus becomes evident.
